Bananas Brindando Re: Now...looking for banana that is most 'arid' tolerant

Well, living in California's central valley and dealing with some hot dry weather, I have to say that I had no problems at all growing bananas in dry hot conditions. I did notice the leaves would fold together to conserve water, but if you're spraying them with oil, then you shouldn't have a problem.

I will suggest that you collect some of the variegated varieties as these are better suited for lower light conditions and have that 'wow' effect.
